Anybody hear Rush this morning on Fox? Has it already been discussed?

I watched some of it. I also just refreshed my memory and saw some of what I missed with Media Matters clips.

Limbaugh basically:
* whined about his failed NFL bid and advanced some crazy theory that it was really Obama through an intermediary that was persecuting him,
* claimed Obama and his administration were launching daily threats to liberty and freedom,
* said he doesn’t think Obama cares about Afghanistan, and only pays lips service to it since it might interfere with health care reform or make him appear weak on defense,
* suggested that Obama went to Dover only as a political photo op and faked any concern he showed for the returning dead,
* said if he had the opportunity to interview Obama, the first question he would ask would be, “Why are you doing this? Why?? What do you not like about this country that makes you want to inflict this kind of damage on it?”
* accused Obama of doing nothing “for the country”, only to it. That his administration has the economy and the private sector under seige, and Limbugh believes they’re intentionally destroying them.

Maybe my memory is shoddy, but I feel like Chris Wallace used to be better than this…
